This is my 100th post!

Yay!!

And I have been busy over the last week or so.  I saw this blog post from - papercanvas from a blog hop run by Technique Tuesday.  And she had created a bookmark.  I really liked it so decided to 'lift' it and I made five of them.

Over the last few weeks I've been organizing my scrapping supplies and realized I have a lot of paper.  (I tend to hoard it, even the scraps.)  I wanted to use my paper and was unsure how since I've been doing project life - I don't end up using a lot of paper.  As I was trying to figure what to do with the paper, I spent a Saturday afternoon crafting with my good friend Dar who showed me how to make mini paperbag albums.  I said to myself, 'Bingo! I now know how I want to use my paper!'.

She told me that she just googled it in YouTube and that there were a bunch of videos on it.  Most of the videos I watched were put up by Kathy Orta whose blog & videos are on Paper Phenomenon.  This what I came up with:

Adventure Mini Album

Then I made this album from another video:

Cardstock Mini Album

I'm thinking of giving these away as gifts to friends.....  shhhhhhh......

45

Forty-five.


That's how old I am today.  It's hard for me to believe!  And as one friend quoted from Jon Bon Jovi to me, 'You're not old, just older.'  Another friend quoted that I was halfway there!  Another quote, "You've never been this old before, and you'll never be this young again!!" 


Love it.


Usually I feel a lot younger than I am but today I am recovering from food poisoning or side effects of medication as I was nauseous all last night and didn't sleep well.  So I am feeling those 45 years today!


The other big NEWS today is that THIS man turned a BIG 4 - 0 today.  So Happy Birthday my handsome man!

And he left me these notes this morning, making me feel special:

If you can't read the notes, my hubby cleaned the counter, emptied the dish rack & dishwasher, made enough oatmeal to share and made coffee this morning!


Have a fantastic day!  =) Lisa

June 3 - 9, 2012

As I was perusing different blogs and paying special attention to different PL pages, I decided that recording the info for the week was a good idea.  I do hope to catch up soon and be current using PL and thought that if I start recording weekly events, it will help me do my journalling when the time comes.  So I'm starting now.

* planted the veggie garden
* went golfing
* stayed up to 1:30am helping Miss Tamara with her 2500 word essay

Monday
* mixed up my blood test appt. & went a day early
* got the gardening done in the front yard
* went golfing again - 9 holes

Tuesday
* actual blood test appt.  - both days (of supposed appts.) my fasting tested high on my meter and I have resolved myself that the diabetes is only going to get worse
* went to SC's year end party
* there was a wicked thunderstorm that night

Wednesday
* cancelled Tamara's Dr. appt. because she didn't want to be pulled from school then went to walk-in clinic after school & waited 2 hrs to get a prescription refill, which only took 2 minutes

Thursday
* volunteered at the YS Golf tournament
* perennials planted, everything has been weeded for the most part and the back yard cleaned up.  Worked till 10:30pm because it was so beautiful out.


Friday
